I was faced with the same problem this fall.  I used one 3/8th inch  
bolt through the starter motor hole, and the other three were the
smaller 5/16ths tapped holes.  

I used Grade eight bolts and nuts.  You have to fuss for ever with
spacers tubes, washers to get it the four arms just right. Nervous about
all the cantelevered weight, I even pressed in bushings into the holes
of the engine stand arms.  This reduced the size of the hole the bolt
went through.

There was a lot of discussion on the list about this, finally I had to
strike out on my own. Yes it took a month, but it worked great.
